The biggest lie in US Presidential politics is that we are ever presented with an actual “lesser of two evils” choice, or any choice at all for that matter in the current corporate duopoly party system that rules Washington. The reason war never stops is bomb builders own the gov
Its worth noting, many of the speakers were Black in allyship with immigrant neighbors. And several called out the Council's hypocritical support of Flock while pushing the sanctuary ordinance. Houston prevented a discussion of any of those issues.
Keir Starmer was not merely a disappointment. He is a mendacious figure of ethical decrepitude, a man who won the Labour Party leadership based on promises that he jettisoned five seconds after winning - a Labour leader who dared banish from the Labour Party not only his predecessor but also remarkable human beings like director Ken Loach - the gentleman who has taken the historic Labour Party and transformed it into a vessel for the very oligarchy it was elected to restrain.
Consider the litany of Starmer’s moral and logical failures. He promised a 'different Britain', yet his actions were a masterclass in Tory-lite politics—using the same maxed-out credit card analogies that once served the austerity brigades to justify his own failure of vision. He promised a human rights lawyer’s approach but he embraced a racist-lite version of Farage.
On Europe, Starmer promised Brexiteers that Brexit is Brexit yet stood before those who yearn to rejoin the European Union, winked at them to make them feel that Britain would gradually reconnect, even rejoin, with the EU while offering nothing of substance. This is not leadership; it is a fraud.
And then there's the manner in which Starmer and his government rushed to offer Israel unequivocal support in pursuing its genocide in Gaza, sacrificing precious political and civil liberties in the UK by imprisoning grandmothers, priests and peaceful activists who dared support Palestine Action, an organisation that Starmer and his minions proscribed as terrorists for practising the usual activist tactics of trespassing to spray paint military planes that had demonstrably aided in the genocide. To add insult to injury, Starmer performed the diplomatic pantomime of recognising a Palestinian state, in a manner that ensured it would never happen.
But above all else, this is a government that has learned nothing from the post-2008 era. Starmer and his Chancellor are playing the same tired austerity game while enabling and empowering the Finance Curse perpetrated by the City of London, throwing in forgood measure cuts in international aid to fund a military spending trickle under the guise of a "Strategic Defence Review" . It is the same old doctrine: austerity for the masses, socialism for the financiers and the arms dealers.
History will remember Mr Starmer as a man without conviction, a Prime Minister who offers not a shred of honesty, but merely the cruel illusion of change. He is ethically decrepit because he had chosen, consciously, to abandon principle for power. And for that, history will indict him. Good riddance, I say.

SF's homicides nearly doubled this year from last, while in Oakland, crime continues to decline. That's why the OPD police union hired Sam Singer and his retinue of cheap surrogates. Without a crime panic there's no leverage for an 8th year of bankrupting OPD increases

Oslo had 41 road deaths in 1975. By 2019, that number was one: a single driver who hit a fence.
Oslo effectively ended road deaths by redesigning its downtown for people instead of cars.
They removed 700 street parking spaces and replaced them with 37 miles of protected bike lanes and pocket parks.
They lowered speed limits inside and outside the city. Many streets to car traffic entirely.
They created "heart zones" around every elementary school where cars can't pick up or drop off kids.
Did it kill the city? Nope.
Retail sales at shops went up. Kids started walking and biking to school unsupervised.
Air quality improved measurably and traffic congestion got better because fewer people wanted to drive through a pedestrianized downtown.
Every piece of Oslo's strategy is available to any American city that wants it. The problem is solved, now we just need to implement it.
@pubity It would be far easier, & probably cheaper, to just not allow cars that are capable of exceeding the speed limit and/or that have deadly 7 foot tall front ends that dangerously obscure the drivers ability to notice humans and animals they are about to kill to be on the open road.
